Tuesday, October 27th, 2009


I like Jamba Juice smoothies, but they’re not worth spending $5 on.

What is a smoothie maker? Can you put whole fruit in it?can you put a whole orange in?do you have to peel it?

A smoothie maker is just an expensive blender! lol!

And yeah, you need to peel the fruit, and, if its an apple, you really gotta de-core it too..

Just stick whatever you want in the blender and give it a spin!

What is the best way to make an all natural fruit smoothie?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009


I am looking for the best way to make a HEALTHY ALL natural fruit smoothie. Using no sugar syrups, ice cream or any crushed ice. Does anyone have any recipes or suggestions? I am looking for a nice consistency "thickness" to the smoothie also. Thank you.

well you can use a variety of different fruits. you could use frozen fruits and fresh fruit. add some juice, milk, sorbet or yougurt to your smoothie.

Sunrise smoothie
1 cup chopped ripe strawberries (5 large strawberries)
1 cup chopped seeded watermelon
1 cup chopped fresh peach
1 cup raspberry sorbet
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

Place the strawberries, watermelon, peach, sorbet, and orange juice in a blender and puree until smooth and creamy. Add more orange juice if you’d like it a little less thick. Serve immediately in tall glasses with straws.

Wake up smoothie
1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced
1 cup hulled strawberries
1/2 cup raspberries, or peeled and sliced kiwi (about 2)
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey

Place all the ingredients in the blender and process on high speed until smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds.
Pour into glasses and serve.

Fresh fruit smoothie
1/2 cup soy milk (or other milk)
1/2 cup white grape juice
1 cup strawberries, stemmed
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1/2 lemon, squeezed (for tartness if desired)
1/4 teaspoon Vitamin C powder (1 capsule)
Pinch salt, preferable grey salt
Small handful fresh seedless grapes

Add all ingredients to blender. Blend until smooth.

Very tasty and healthy fruit smoothies anyone?

i am currently on a fruit diet and i am getting sick of eating plain fruits everyday. so today i woke up and thought about making myself a smoothie. so i was wondering if anyone had any good recipes for making smoothies, using only fruits, yogurt and milk if necessary.

thanks, i really appreciate it.

I buy fresh fruits when they’re in season and freeze them myself cuz it’s cheaper than buying frozen fruits. Frozen fruits are better to use in smoothies so you don’t have to use ice. Peel and cut fruits up and lay them on a cookie sheet before putting in the freezer. Then they freeze individually instead of in a big clump. Bananas, pineapple, strawberries, and other berries are my favorites.

I prefer non-dairy smoothies and just use frozen fruit and OJ or pineapple juice. Because I’m a vegetarian and use a smoothie as my morning meal I will also use a protein, greens powder like Greens Plus.

Sometimes I’ll just use chocolate soy milk and frozen bananas. Then add strawberries or peanut butter. SO good.

I don’t think you can really go wrong. Experiment!

What are some fruit smoothie recipes, besides the typical strawberry-banana?

Any ideas? Healthy recipes, not ones with ice cream.

I usually use frozen orange juice (or frozen berry juice). Put half a can into the blender, add frozen or fresh fruit – like blueberries, pineapples or peaches, add a little sugar or honey (to your taste) and a whole tray of ice cubes. You can add vanilla yogurt if you want to make it creamier. You can really use any combination of fruits you want. I am always experimenting!

I had a 4 fruit smoothie from java city the other day and it was exceptionally good. This got me thinking that it would probably be pretty easy to make my own smoothies but I don’t have fresh fruit in my apartment! I don’t want alcoholic smoothies which is what keeps coming up when I search! So what is a good smoothie recipe that isn’t to expensive?
